Nicorette microtab pills held in a woman's hand. These pills are a type of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Nicotine is an addictive drug found in cigarettes. The tablet dissolves under the tongue and the nicotine is absorbed into the bloodstream from the lining of the mouth. Nicotine replacement therapies help to relieve the cravings felt by smokers who are trying to quit.
